### 5/5 — SO good

*2026-08-11, version 5.5*

Its really good I love it!!

### 5/5 — Download this game NOW

*2026-08-06, version 5.5*

As someone who’s been trying to play the Touhou games but doesn’t have money for them, this is VERY great if you don’t have pc or enough money.

### 5/5 — Also 5 stars for its storage space and replayability

*2026-07-10, version 5.5*

Is this the actual game? Where can I find the actual game with all the characters, different attacks and (story ig) or is the actual game locked behind a paywall on mobile or pc?

### 5/5 — PLEASE FIND A WAY TO REUPLOAD THE PAST GAMES

*2026-05-31, version 5.5*

Okay bit of a rant, but I LOVEEEE these types of games. They’re always so fun to play, especially when you’re on mobile and can’t play the actual touhou games. But I remember like 5 years ago playing the older games (e.g.: lunatic dreams), and they’ve been itching at the back of my brain for the past half-a-decade. Even if it’s on another platform, please find a way to either make another game, or reupload the old ones!!

### 5/5 — Left me speechless

*2026-05-17, version 5.5*

Just download it, stop reading and play now for the best game you’ll ever play.

### 5/5 — Tewi

*2026-04-18, version 5.5*

I farted to tewi now my family loves touhou too. Tewi is lif

### 4/5 — Really good

*2026-04-12, version 5.5*

It’s good and surprisingly faithful to the originals but i wish you could pay to remove the banner at the bottom of every level :,(

### 5/5 — Idk if you can do this but

*2026-04-10, version 5.5*

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE  can you get the dialogue from the actual game I wanna feel like I’m playing the actual game Fr

### 5/5 — why no sound

*2026-04-01, version 5.5*

i love the game overall but im just wondering where the sounds are 😭😭

### 5/5 — Very cool game… however

*2026-03-24, version 5.5*

This is a very very good game… in a platform where most games are sloppy and brainrotting…. Its fun, it captures the atmosphere of touhou and the patterns are well made. However i feel like difficulty wise we could have made it a lil harder and on bosses like Youmu, the core concept of the bous could be retouched. But otherwise very cool game and would recommend 👍
